Pre-existing medical conditions:
The Money and Pensions Service has launched a travel insurance directory for people with serious pre-existing medical conditions (PEMCs) on its Money Advice Service website.
If you’re looking for travel insurance and have a PEMC you may wish to visit the above website in order to find alternatives.
However, please be mindful that although they may cover you for a PEMC they will have many other terms and conditions in their policy which are different from ours at Westfield, and therefore may not adequately cover you for your Scuba Diving risk.
